So I bought 100' of PVC and have made three hoops so far. Easy task.
Is anyone else doing it? The notion of buying one via mail seems silly, but the availability of materials is a problem. Home Depot has one type of PVC tube and it's kinda ugly! Even with tape stripes.
So I guess folks are buying this from other suppliers and having it shipped. That way you get all the cool colors and the high-pressure (heavier) tube.

Re: who is making their own hoops?
Mon, February 9, 2009 - 7:35 PMI'm making mine, I get my tubing from Lowes. I have the regular black kind, 3/4" 100 psi and 160 psi. I don't think it's ugly, it's just plain old black. Of course I cover all of it with tape and ribbon though so none of the black shows. They also have 125 psi at my Lowes. I don't see the need for too many psi's though. Really with what I do I think if all I had was 100 I'd be happy.

Sat, March 7, 2009 - 8:10 AMI get tubing from home depot and lowes. I have heard of some folks getting it from plumbing supply stores. Tape I buy online. I cover the entire surface of the hoops with tape to make them pretty.

Thu, April 23, 2009 - 7:26 AMI make my own too. Home Depot and Lowes 160 psi and 100 psi 3/4 inch. I too cover the entire hoop with tape I order from online or if its a learning hoop I just use duct tape or elec. tape in many colors.
I'm up to 23 hoops now! ACK lol
trying to get North Austin hoopers together for a hoop meet and I'm getting all my neighbors hooping too so I plan on using all my hoops to get people involved! :)
